Burns and McDonnell Selected as Project Engineer for Boswell 3

Minnesota Power announced that Burns & McDonnell has been selected to provide preliminary and detailed engineering and project management services for the major emission control upgrade at its Boswell Unit 3, located in Cohasset, MN. The project will include installation of state-of-the-art technology intended to achieve more than 80 percent reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxide (NO_x), up to 90 percent reductions in mercury (Hg) and significant reductions in particulate matter. The project investment will total nearly $200 million. (See July 2006 Fabric Filter Newsletter.)

"We selected Burns & McDonnell because of their extensive experience in designing emission control retrofit projects," said Al Rudeck, Manager, Engineering Services, Minnesota Power. "Their talented design team has demonstrated a strong customer focus and an ability to develop reliable and cost-effective system designs, which makes Burns & McDonnell an excellent long-term partner." Beyond the Boswell 3 project, for the last several years, Minnesota Power has been working with Burns & McDonnell on overall, comprehensive plans for future emission controls at all of its facilities.
